It doesn't say much about UNIX 95, does it? The current official UNIX95 list (by vendor) is: BULL AIX DIGITAL Digital UNIX HITACHI HI-UX/WE2 HP HP-UX IBM AIX; OS/390 NCR NCR UNIX; Solaris NEC UX/4800 SCO UnixWare SGI IRIX 6.5 SNI BS2000/OSD; Reliant UNIX SPISI Reliant UNIX SUN Solaris Having had some dealings with the Open Group, I think they do a good (though frequently misunderstood) job on the whole. FreeBSD is far from compliance, as regards many standards: principally because of a distinct lack of interest, although lack of great piles of ready cash is also a factor. -- Robert Nordier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
